HVM party leaders will gather activists from the Atsinanana region next Saturday in Toamasina. In its bid to reclaim territorial influence, the HVM party is conducting successive regional campaigns. Bolstered by a remobilized base and cadres within government, Hery Rajaonarimampianina's party is actively mobilizing. The Hery Vaovao ho an'i Madagasikara (HVM) party is not idle. For several weeks, the political formation of former president Hery Rajaonarimampianina has been conducting field operations to orchestrate, discreetly, the restructuring of its grassroots structures. A strategic offensive conducted away from the spotlight, aimed at preparing for upcoming democratic elections. After notable campaigns in Boeny, Alaotra-Mangoro and Haute Matsiatra, the Sofia region is now being targeted. In Mandritsara last Saturday, the district's political bureau was renewed amid cheers from hundreds of activists. Party leaders will convene Atsinanana region activists next Saturday in Toamasina.
Youth Sections
For HVM, this is now far more than simple political survival. The former presidential party aims to wield significant influence on the national stage. Hery Rajaonarimampianina is indeed cited among closely watched figures for upcoming races. To achieve this, the machinery is mobilizing. Supported by a General Secretariat anchored within government, notably through the Ministry of Youth and Sports, the party relies heavily on its youth and women's sections. Acting as true driving forces, they traverse fokontany to ensure grassroots mobilization and recruitment.
Political Facelift
After a difficult period marked by cascading defections following the 2019 departure from power, the party is attempting to settle past accounts. Alarm bells rang during municipal elections in Mahajanga. Today, the presence of cadres within the government apparatus offers an ideal window for a much-needed political facelift. On the ground, observers note undeniable vitality: HVM stands among the most active formations currently, refusing a passive stance. Beyond cascading regional meetings, the party seeks to prove it retains strong mobilization capacity.
Indispensable Pole
Beyond internal dynamics, major political maneuvering is stirring behind the scenes. The strategic rapprochement between Hery Rajaonarimampianina, Marc Ravalomanana and Colonel Michaël Randrianirina is no longer secret. A potential agreement was reportedly discussed in Ankaramalaza, though HVM maintains official silence for now. As major electoral appointments approach, scheduled for 2027, the party appears to have made its choice: shed the role of mere extra to become an indispensable pole. Success depends on converting this field presence into raw political capital.
